HE SAID MANY GOOD THINGS Mr. Shively Wednesday in his speech accepting his election as senator, said some things that are worth considering. It is true, as he pointed out, that most of of the rights the citizen enjoys are conferred by the states and safeguarded and protected by them. All the great primary rights of life, liberty, property and occupation are "made secure by the power of the state.” Therefore it is that “the value and importance of the state government to the citizen cannot be over estimated.” and so it is that “the high function and manifold and manifest importance of the several states within their respective lawful spheres only add dignity and strength to the union of the states.” These are pleasant words to come from a man who is to represent us in the federal senate. It is well that he should understand the restraints imposed on him and the government For the government can be wisely and safely administered only by those who cherish the true American ideal. But the new senator did not neglect national affairs and on these, too, he spoke with much force and wisdom. Take this for instance: “Every public man choses for himself either the cham- ■ pionship of power or the championship of rights. Selfishness ever lurks it- the shadow of power seeking profitable connection. Its strategy is to make a puzzle of power and a mystery of government. Words should not be permitted to confuse. Wealth is a social not a political product; it is wrought out by brawn of muscle, skill of hand and vigil of brain, not by the yeas and nays of congresses. Industrial prosperity is a social, not a political product; it is born of the

genius and energy of man applied to the bounties of nature, not of the cunning and craft of men applied to the powers of government. That is the best use of power which least tempts to its abuse. That is worst j employiuenl of pqwer which most i tempts to its abuse. Happy is the ' people whose government does not, by its affirmative acts, create the very mischiefs which all true government is designed to prevent. That is the best government under which each man is secure in that which is his own and each is denied that which is not his own.’—lndianapolis News. Hon. Samuel M. Ralston is what his friends always knew him to be—a clean gentleman and a man who can see things in a political way. His recent well-balanced remarks directed to the Democratic members of the legislature, is calculatd to help the party at this crucial period. Democrat Want Ads. Pay

oBREAK FROM BEST JAIL 1 Boy Prisoners in Seemingly Impossible Feat at York. York, Pa., Jan. 22.—Harry Ziegler, • Otto Plath and Augustus Stallman, I youths between 16 and 19 years old, | awaiting transportation to the Eastern penitentiary upon sentence imposed at the January session of court, broke York county's new jail, one of the finest and most modem prisons in the state. They sawed bars across the windows of their cells in the juvenile ward on the fourth floor, clambered in some mysterious way down over the outer wall and scaled the ; high jail wall. Wrapped about by a blinding snowstorm they made their L escape. The remarkable feat deemed . impossible, follows an escape which } these same same three youths made about two months ago from the city • lockup, breaking from their cells - there and clambering down into a side f alley in broad daylight.

Neglect or pessimism we believe is the greatest enemy the public have to contend with when applied to the loss or recovery of health. Practically every case of consumption might have teen cured if hope had been maintained and proper treatment had been resorted to at the first symptom of the disease. Until the advanced stage is reached, consumption is curable. Catarrh is responsible, we believe, for every case of consumption. It is about Catarrh we want to talk to you today, incidentally consumption, since the two are so closely allied. We have a medicine made from the prescription of one of the most successful catarrh (Specialists known. This medicine has a record of 98 per cent sos cures, and we believe it is positively without an equal. We are j so satisfied that we are right, that we will supply the medicine free in every instance where it is used according to directions for a reasonable length of time and fails to cure and give satisfaction in every particular. We want every one in Dectaur to try this medicine at our risk. »re no conditions or formali'y attached to our offer. We put the user under obligation to us whatever.

The medicine we want you to try is Rexall Mucu-Tone. It is a catarrh remedy that goes direct to the seat of trouble. It is carried by the blood to every part of the system. It seeks out and destroys the germs or parasites which cause Catarrh. It purifies the blood, tones up the mucocells, soothes and heals the tissues that were ravaged by the catarrnal parasite, and brings about a condition of health and strength that prevents the germs of consumption from ever getting a start. Besides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a wonderful appetizer, digestive aid and flesh builder. Its good effects are felt from the very first dose. It is one of the largest and most satisfactory selling medicines that we have ever had anything to do with. We know so much of the great good that it has done that we personally back it up our reputation and money, which fact should be ample guarantee to satisfy anybody. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50c. and 11.00. We urge you to try it The Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co., Decatur, Indiana. —o _ Mrs. Leah Garrett, the wife of Noah Garrett deceased, has been granted a pension of twelve dollars a month.
